Vocational Education and Training (VET)
Our school, under the delegation of the QCAA, ASQA and the Vocational Education, Training and Employment Act (2000), is registered as an Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in the delivery of Vocational Education and Training (VET) to the Australian Qualification Framework Certificate level.
We offer the appropriate facilities and teachers with relevant industry knowledge, experience and currency to train and assess VET programs.
Our school provides a range of VET options for young people including vocational placement, work experience and School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships.
Benefits of VET for our students
Vocational education prepares our students for the world and work and assists them to develop their employability skills and connections with local industry. These connections are all-important components of life-long learning, career success and support ‘seamless’ transitions from school to employment and further education and training.
VET caters for students seeking employment-specific skills and expands post-school options and provides flexible pathways.
Vocational Education and Training provides our students access to certificate level courses in:
- Hospitality
- Kitchen Operations
- Business
- Aviation
- Health
- Active Volunteering
- Sport & Recreation
- Fitness.
For further information regarding these courses, please contact us for a copy of our subject selection booklet. Contact the Senior Schooling office if you have questions regarding these exciting opportunities.
Unique Student Identifier (USI)
From 1 January 2015, the Australian Government requires all students studying Vocational Education and Training (VET) to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). This includes students who are studying VET in schools.
There is no cost to the student. The USI will allow students to access their enrolment and achievement record for all VET learning online (from 1 January 2015); and no VET records will be lost.
